The Early Years

Our Level A instructors use a fun and imaginative syllabus to playfully introduce French ballet terminology, age-appropriate ballet technique, teamwork, self-discipline, and ballet etiquette. We explore motor skills and musicality while encouraging creative thinking and a spirit of fun in the arts! Our young dancers attain higher levels of self-confidence as they develop strength, flexibility, and coordination through the joy of dance.

TUITION:Classes are $15 each at this level. Tuition is calculated per dancer - not per family during the summer. Please see our tuition calculator.

WHO SHOULD ENROLL IN LEVEL A?​Dancers who are between 3 and 5 years old and able to use the restroom independently. If your dancer is 6 years old or older, please visit our Youth Programs page.

WHAT SHOULD MY DANCER WEAR TO SUMMER CLASSES?We know that many new students join us during the summer! That's why our dress code is more relaxed during the summer. Students may choose to wear their class leotard, if they are a returning dancer, or a leotard of their choice. All female dance students will need pink ballet slippers and tights as well. Boys should select black leggings (or form fitting black pants) and a white form-fitting shirt. More information on our year-round dress code can be found by clicking here.

​If you have never shopped for ballet flats (slippers) before, please visit a dance store to ensure your student has the best brand/style for their feet. Many of our families enjoy shopping with Dance Supplies, Etc. in Severna Park, MD and at Footlights (various locations throughout MD and VA). Hair must be in a bun for all classes.

HOW TO REGISTER:Registration is now open! To register, simply click on the name of the class and follow the registration instructions. You may enroll in one week - or all nine sessions! If you have not danced with us before, you will need to create an account and follow the prompts to register.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF SUMMER IF I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE?Placement letters will be emailed at the end of July for all summer students. This will tell you which class level you should register your child for in August.
